Hello All, As I have received several off-list requests for the information regarding the HP laser printer mentioned in a previous thread, I have decided to repost the info here, in a new thread.
Mark Original Post: Subject: Here is a Very Good AirPrint Laser Printer that I am Now Recommending Hello All, I purchased the HP LaserJet Pro M15w Wireless Laser Printer (W2G51A) from Amazon and I absolutely love it. It has all of the features I require including the ability to insert standard mailing envelopes into the sheet feeder as a custom slot. In order to use this printer, as an AirPrint, printer, you must download the free HP Smart app, once. You use the app to configure the printer for use on your network. This is to say, the app facilitates the ability to enter your network password, etc. As I said, you only need to do this once as, once done, all Apple devices can see the printer on the network and you may print to your heart's content. The app is 100% VoiceOver accessible. The printer is the tiniest laser printer I've ever seen. It uses a mini-toner cartridge so it's perfect as a portable laser printer. Oh, this is not a color laser. Even when printing photos, it takes less than 10 seconds for the unit to start printing. When printing documents, the unit begins printing almost immediately. Of course, this is my experience, your milage may vary. >From what I can tell, most of the negative reviews about the unit, on Amazon, come from Windows users. To be clear, you do not need to install any HP software on any of your Apple devices in order to use the printer, save the HP Smart app, on one device, to configure the unit. For you more advanced users, the printer has its own web server so you can log directly into the unit via a web browser, should you wish. Although the unit ships with a USB cable, for use with Apple devices, it is not necessary. Now, in full disclosure, I have not used the printer with a Windows device. >From what I can tell, the process of configuring the unit is more complicated on Windows but I cannot speak to that. The printer costs approximately $110.00 USD. As for unpacking the unit, it would probably be best to have a sighted person handy as un-taping the various parts could be challenging for an inexperienced user. The only assembly is to unpack the toner cartridge and preparing it for installation. There are only 3 hardware buttons on the unit that are flush with the surface but one can certainly put tape on them to mark their location. Also, the unit makes a definite sound when plugged into the wall so there can be no doubt as to when the unit is powered up. Okay, here is the URL for the printer on Amazon.
